:Fazil, um, can you go tell Savil? - And then maybe ask a servant to bring us something to sleep on, I think I want to stay the night with him and he should be in a Work Room in case he starts projecting or throwing things around with magic, he's not compulsioned against that and - I've done it before when I was upset enough:  

Permalink

:Yeah, I can do that.:

 

 

He goes to Savil.

Permalink

Starwind is on his feet in an instant when Fazil enters the room. "Where is Moondance - what did you–"

Permalink

He ignores him. 

:It looks like we can lift the Star-Eyed's pact,: he says to Savil. :But it left him a wreck and he didn't want Starwind, he was worried he'd react badly. I can't do Starwind until the morning. I'm sorry. Van wants to stay with him overnight.:

Permalink

:Oh. Gods. I - I'm glad Van can be there for him. Should I tell Starwind about this or...not...: 

Permalink

:I have no idea! I'd worry about him doing something stupid if he thinks Moondance is being tortured but there's not much he can do, right? And Moondance didn't want him, he was emphatic about that despite being generally pretty out of it.:

Permalink

:I can at least reassure him Moondance is physically all right and he's safe and with Vanyel, and we can explain tomorrow. Thank you, you can go back: 

Permalink

He tracks down a servant to request supplies for Vanyel to sleep in there with him.

Permalink

Moondance is limp in Vanyel's lap when he gets back. 

Permalink

"Thank you," Vanyel says quietly. "Think you could get us some food too? I don't know that I can coax him to eat it but I should at least try." 

Permalink

"Yeah, sure." He goes out in hunt of a servant to ask for this too.

Permalink

Moondance really isn't in the mood to eat but can eventually be convinced to drink some water and eat about three bites of bread, after which he curls up in a miserable ball on the fold-out cot dragged in for him. 

Permalink

Vanyel puts a blanket over him. He sighs. :Fazil, you don't have to stay all night if you don't want to, it'll be pretty boring: 

Permalink

Your ring is working properly these days, right? If I go to bed now you can wake me a couple hours before dawn and then we'll both be rested and he won't have any chance of - escaping or something.

Permalink

:That's right. I'll do that: Vanyel gives him an exhausted, wan smile. :Thank you so much for - everything on this trip, really. I know it's a lot to be dragged into: 

Permalink

:I'm glad I could help.:

Permalink

Vanyel shuts the door after Fazil leaves, settles down on the chair next to the cot, and holds Moondance's hand. 

Permalink

Moondance allows this for a while but eventually pulls away and curls up facing the wall. 

Permalink

Sigh. Vanyel leans back and props his feet on the end of the cot and settles in for a very, very long night. He has a book on him but it's one he's read before. If he'd been more organized he could have asked for a stack of coal and made diamonds... Oh well. 

Permalink

- sometime in the early hours of the morning, Vanyel jerks forward out of his chair. Oh no. 

He wastes about five seconds shaking Moondance, which isn't going to help at all, and then sprints for the door and flings it open so he can Mindspeak. :FAZIL NEED YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW: 

Permalink

He rolls out of bed and casts the spell that puts on his armor on his way to the room where Vanyel and Moondance are.

Permalink

:'Fandes can you wake Shavri or something - or get literally anyone at Healers'–:

Permalink

Yfandes startles awake. :Wha–: She makes it to 'fully alert', skims the last twenty seconds of his memory: :Oh. Kernos' balls. I'll do that: 

Permalink

The instant Fazil is there, Vanyel practically yanks him into the room. :He wasn't doing anything and then he - stopped his heart - I didn't know you could DO that to yourself but he's Healing-Gifted - I'm so STUPID I didn't think about precautions for that at all - can you do something–:

Permalink

Stabilize is a cantrip. It stops dying people from dying. 

He does a surge of positive energy after that, just in case.
